Nursery to Grade 5

Celebrating everyone's uniqueness

At St. Dominic’s International School, we promote cultural understanding through the events that we organise. We get the students excited not only about themselves and their cultural identities but also really excited and curious about their classmates’ backgrounds. There is definitely a culture of curiosity, understanding, respect and a constant learning about each other, celebrating what we have here at school.

St. Dominic’s International School is one of the few schools in Portugal that offers the rewarding IB Primary Years Programme. The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is a unique, Transdisciplinary approach in which learning takes place across multiple disciplines, allowing students to make connections across all subjects.  Skills, knowledge and understandings are developed in context with real world situations.
